摘要：The advancement in technology has enabled the growth of devices with high efficiency and miniature structure such as the smart dust which has lead to the construction of large sensor networks. As Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has become a rapidly growing field of interest, it is essential to know the various aspects, functionalities and the methodologies involved in this field. Data gathering in WSN involves collection of data from widely distributed set of sensor nodes. There are different algorithms to gather data in WSN based on the nature of the network topology and the nodes involved. However achieving efficiency in terms of data gathering is still a challenge. Also, in data gathering it is important to recognize a scheme that will ensure fairness in the data gathered. This paper provides a new scheme known as the COPS for data gathering with mobile sinks in WSNs that will provide optimized result in terms of data collection and fairness
